Cabergoline Active ingredient
Lactose monohydrate Filler
Leucine Flow agent

  • Mild GH suppression (useful in acromegaly adjunct therapy)

  • Parkinsonian symptom relief (high doses)

Hyperprolactinemia 0.25 mg 2x/week 0.5-1 mg 2x/week 4.5 mg/week
Parkinson’s Disease 0.5 mg daily 2-3 mg/day in divided doses 6 mg/day

Key Notes:

  • Take with food to reduce nausea

  • Titrate slowly (increase every 4 weeks for prolactin disorders)

  • For macroprolactinomas: Start low (0.25 mg/week) to avoid tumor shrinkage complications


5. INDICATIONS

✅ Hyperprolactinemic disorders:

  • Prolactinomas (micro/macro)

  • Idiopathic hyperprolactinemia

  • Medication-induced (e.g., antipsychotics)

✅ Parkinson’s disease (2nd line) ✅ Acromegaly adjunct therapy ✅ Infertility with hyperprolactinemia


6. STORAGE CONDITIONS

  • Temperature: Below 30°C

  • Humidity: Keep in original blister

  • Light Protection: Required

  • Shelf Life: 2-3 years


7. KEY RECOMMENDATIONS

✔ Monitoring Protocol:

  • Prolactin levels every 4-6 weeks until normalized

  • MRI for macroprolactinomas (3-6 months post-initiation)

  • Echocardiogram baseline + annually (fibrosis risk)

✔ For Antipsychotic-Induced Hyperprolactinemia:

  • Coordinate with psychiatrist

  • Consider alternative antipsychotics (e.g., aripiprazole) first

✔ In Pregnancy:

  • Discontinue once pregnancy confirmed

  • Monitor for tumor growth in macroprolactinomas


8. IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES

  • Shortness of breath (cardiac fibrosis)

  • Hallucinations (especially in Parkinson’s patients)

  • Leg swelling/pain (DVT risk)

✔ Fertility patients:

  • May resume menses within 4-6 weeks
